Ask Brakoo said, the cables etc can be had on Ebay etc. The software is another matter. It's hard to get a hold of and Motorola will FUCK YOU if they catch you using it without a license (around $600, IF they think you are OK to buy it)

The computer HAS to be a 486DX50 (486 running at 50 mhz) processor or you will brick the radio. The Motorola software runs on DOS 6 and is 100% command line. If you don't perform the procedure right, you can brick the radio.

Thanks,

Be careful what you ask for when you get there. The Sabers broadcast at 5W, and some places won't program GMRS/FRS freqs for you because they know that will make the radio illegal.

They won't program outside of those freqs unless you have a license.
